Primary Antibodies

Aliquot and Store at 2-8˚ C. Avoid freez-thaw cycles.

Pituitary growth hormone (GH) plays a crucial role in stimulating and controlling the growth, metabolism and differentiation of many mammalian cell types by modulating the synthesis of multiple mRNA species. These effects are mediated by the binding of GH to its membrane-bound receptor, GHR, and involve a phosphorylation cascade that results in the modulation of numerous signaling pathways. GH is synthesized by acidophilic or somatotropic cells of the anterior pituitary gland. Anti-GH is a useful marker in classification of pituitary tumors and the study of pituitary disease (acromegaly).

IF: 1-2 ug/ml
IHC (FFPE): 0.5-1 ug/ml for 30 min at RT (1)
The concentration stated for each application is a general starting point. Variations in protocols, secondaries and substrates may require the Growth Hormone antibody to be titered up or down for optimal performance.

1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM Citrate Buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes.
